Speculative pending developments at the coming Pan-American conference at Havana. The attitude of both Russia and Japan was of increasing importance in the European conflict and continued to involve American interests in the Far East. The Japanese Government reportealy was urged to strengthen Japanese expansion southward—toward the Dutch and French colonial areas— and was advised by extremist newspapers that Japan's real enemy would be the United States instead of Britain.

Balkan Peace Hailed

The recent Japanese toward U. S. Marines at Shanghai and toward Britain's refusal to cut off all supplies to the Chinese Government appeared likely to be increased by preparations of Prince Fumimaro Konoye, former premier, to unite all Japanese political factions into a Fascist-like single governing party. New instructions soon to be forwarded to Sir Rooert Craigie, British Ambassador to Tokyo, were reported to be somewhat more amenable to Japan's demand that Britain halt the arms and munitions traffic to China over the Burma road. At the same time, improvement in Anglo-Soviet relations “has appeared more likely since March, when Russia made a friendly approach to the government and proposed resumption of tirade negotiations,” Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs Richard A. Butler told the House of Commons The prospects lor peaceful stahilization of the Balkans were viewed in both Rome and Berlin as satisfactory as a result of reports of a

Wayland Brooks of Illinois, was deleted at the last moment when ex-Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania. chairman of the drafting subcommittee, threatened to walk out. As a further move toward hare mony within Democratic ranks, there is a growing belief here that the Vice-Presidential nomination will go to a man representing the viewpoint of the Southern and conservative wing of the party. rather than to a staunch New Dealer The boom for Associate Justice William O. Douglas. the New Dealers’ candidate, is subsiding and talk is turning to a number of other names—Senators James Byrnes (S. C.) and Alben W. Barkley (Ky.), Speaker William B. Bankhead (Ala.), and Rep. Sam Rayburn (Tex.)., to mention those now said to be most prominently considered.
